Rather than start a new topic, I decided to resurrect this one. I managed to finish this army in time for The Alamo 40K Gt this past weekend. The entire army was painted between 4/16/12 and 5/17/12. As of 5/1, I had one squad finished and a second in progress. Between 5/7 and 5/17 I assembled and painted the drop pod, and 52 infantry models. Lack of sleep and over-consumption of caffeine were involved. The late nights paid off though; I received my second Best Painted Army award, and won 3rd in the Player's choice competition. Since I was trying to win best painted, and enjoy a weekend of meeting new gamers and rolling dice (with a smattering of adult beverages thrown in for good measure) the effort was a resounding success! Without further ado, here's some photos...at least a few. I tried posting everything and was told I am limited to 4 images; so here's a taste of what the models look like. If you want more, then say so!

A couple 1st squad tactical marines with their sergeant. yep, 25 other tactical marines not pictured....they look....well, just like these! nuff said

Sssshhhh! Don't piss off these Librarians! Ultramarines Librarian with Gate of Infinity and Null Zone. Only got to use Gate at the Alamo: its HILARIOUS to see the look on their face when suddenly a bunch of terminators "bamf" across the table into their lines! The other is an Exorcist Chapter Librarian seconded to the Deathwatch, with Null Zone and Machine Curse.
